Reminder on data center 2
Data Center main mission Globally speaking a Data Center has one main mission: Supplying data processing and storage capacity to continuously operate business guarantying optimum up-time and energy efficiency, in a perfectly secure manner...while keeping in control the environmental long term impact 3
Data center customer expectations Improving power availability Maximum energy efficiency Forecast growth in Data Center power consumption in the USA and Europe (* EU-15 + Switzerland). 4
Data center customer expectations Maximum flexibility Maximum speed of deployment Data centers activity involves IT equipment that is constantly changing. The installation must be designed so as to: satisfy the increasing needs in electrical power from new generations of servers. allow flexibility and upgradability without altering the data center operations. Optimized Capex and Opex TOC (Total Cost of Ownership) Equipment acquisition cost (CapEx - Capital Expenditure) Operating and maintenance costs (OpEx Operating Expenditure) 5

The solution is more than busway Monitoring power and energy, circuit-breakers status and localization Sub billing 10
Monitoring solution based on new Schneider Electric offer New NSX circuit-breakers HMI in each IT room energy efficiency programs, kwh cost allocation/invoicing capacity management, reduced mistakes risk hence increased availability easier operation Innovative communication New EN40 Kilowatt-hour meters flexibility, openness with global data measurement system for IT room IT staff or facilities personnel can add and remove plug-in units at any point along the busway without shutting down the main busway system. 11
Alert and localization 12
Metering by line and rack PDU You have a clear view of capacity available for new servers. Define consumption reduction actions. Accurately allocate and charge the energy costs for each server. 13
Historic of the previous alarms Allows you to diagnose faults and take action rapidly without shutting down operations. 14

ibusway for Data Center key benefits 20
3 different architectures for racks power distribution by cables Main PDU LV switchboard Main PDU integrated in rack LV switchboard modular by busway LV switchboard Protection in switchboard (main PDU) Protection in modular PDU Protection in plug-in tapoff units 21
Availability is drastically increased Busway The decentralized electrical distribution architecture based on Busway is much more reliable than the traditional centralized solution based on cables and PDU. This result comes mainly from the architecture and not from the reliability difference between busway and cables. Busway Unavailability: 10,28 hours / years Cables PDU + cables unavailability: 16,74 hours / year This graph shows the yearly unavailability for a Tier II architecture. These results are from a complete study of all data center architecture. This study is available for consultation 22
A safe & simple solution compare to the legacy cable Main LV switchboard + cables Main LV switchboard + Busway Tap-off units can be plugged in or removed without shutting down the system, ensuring maximum continuity of service when the racks are added or moved ibusway for Data Center makes electric circuits clear and easy to understand for fast servicing where needed Zero foot print : busway can be installed overhead or raised floor 23
Decentralized distribution reduces the risks of human error Legibility of distribution : Electrical architecture components are easy to locate and to identify Servicing in front of the cabinet without walking to a remote location power distribution unit to turn off the circuit to the cabinet, risking the human error of shutting off the wrong circuit. Canalis are maintenance free thanks to sliding contact made of silver platted copper 1 spring of the tap-off clamp 2 copper zone of the clamp 3 silver-plated copper zone 4 conductor silver- plated copper ridder 24
The solution brings you flexibility 1 st year installation (40%) 2 years later (100%) You can upgrade your installation during lifetime To buy only what you need To optimize your TCO To increase the power of an existing IT room A system ready to a speed of deployment Reducing installation time on site Busway and tap-off units are plug and play to reduce the work 25
Thanks to decentralized distribution the copper losses are reduced Cables Busway 26
No hazardous substances in ibusway for Data Center components All Canalis Busway components are halogen free as standard (no PVC) Conductors are air insulated Housing is made of steel Plastic parts are mainly made of PA ( polyamide) Canalis Busway is designed in compliance with the RoHs European recommendation 27
ibusway for Data Center has a long lifecycle and can be easily recycled Old circuits cables become a waste in 95% of cases Canalis Busway is designed for a long service life and can easily be dismantled, cleaned and reused First 1956 installation is still in use More than 30 years old installations in the European car industry still in use All components of our products are stamped to show their material to make recycling easier All materials used in our packing can be recycled 28
ibusway for Data Center key benefits 1/2 Availability Thanks to the decentralized distribution the power availability is increased by a factor 1,6 compare to low voltage switchboard & cable distribution The monitoring of the branch circuit load enables to anticipate potential tripping The default localization reduce the servicing time Energy efficiency The solution measures the energy of the racks and enables to analyze and to envisage actions to optimize energy The small size of the busway compare to cable improves raised floor cooling Thanks to the decentralized distribution the copper losses are reduced Contribute to sustainable development No hazardous substance Clean, reusable and fully recyclable 29
ibusway for Data Center key benefits 2/2 Flexibility Tap-off units are plug and play power on The monitoring system can be set up directly by the electrical team in the IT room Speed of deployment Thanks to modular system, basic architectures can be copied and adapted to each size, shape and data center s uses Tap-off unit are pre-wired and pre-tested in workshop Busway and tap-off units are plug and play to reduce the work on site The monitoring system is ready to use Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Optimized investment and maintenance costs reduced the TCO by 5 to 10% vs Low Voltage switchboard & cable Enable capacity management and sub-billing 30
